It seems that Riya Sen has been giving a tough time to Hum Phirr Milien Na Milien’s director Rakesh Gupta and producer Sunil Sodha. The promotion of the film is about to begin as it releases on July 25. But, Riya is nowhere to be found when the makers of the film are looking for her in order to promote the film. Riya, who has a cameo role in the film, is not cooperating with the makers of the film as she feels that they only want to cash in on her name and popularity to promote the film. She is demanding close to Rs 3 lakh just to promote the film, which is essentially the launch vehicle of Tabassum's granddaughter Khushi and newcomer Sarwar Ahuja.
She thinks that if the producer wants to use her name and face only for the film’s promotion then she should be paid extra for it. The producer obviously cannot pay Riya according to her demands as an extremely tight budget has been worked out for the film’s promotion, as it is a small-budget project. Sunil Sodha, CEO of Shimla Film Entertainment, confirmed ad said that they had paid Riya a hefty amount for the cameo role in the film. When he tried to contact her to inform her about the promotional activities, she asked them to get in touch with her secretary. When they spoke to the secretary, she quoted a hefty sum if they want Riya to be part of the film’s promotion.
They had already paid her for being part of the film. Now how can they pay her again just for being a part of the promotional activities?
